To flush out = to get you from wherever you are even inside a deep hole with the intention to harm you.
To dig up = The usual meaning is "to extract buried things" (rocks, bones, corpse...) but can be used to stress on the annoying behaviour of somebody.
To spot = to locate you with precision.
Oh my God !! I've been spotted by a paparazzi :O
"Paparazzi can flush you out, dig you up and spot you everywhere"
I hope it helped you ;)

I'd suggest either:
- 'to track down': Paparazzi can track you down everywhere (or maybe 'anywhere' would be better in this context?); I like the hunting connotations.
... or my favourite:
- 'to ferret out': Paparazzi can ferret you out anywhere; this is a rather whimsical phrasal verb which I think has its etymology in the Victorian English past-time of putting a large number furry ferrets into their trousers and trying to get them out within a certain time limit (really!). In modern usage, it means to find a fact or person or thing which is not easy to trace.
Best wishes!

i think "get" is better.
